Weather in August

The last month of the summer, August, is also a hot month in Moncla, Louisiana, with an average temperature fluctuating between 91.2°F (32.9°C) and 73°F (22.8°C).

Temperature

The transition into August reveals an average high-temperature of a still tropical 91.2°F (32.9°C), mirroring a close resemblance to July. Moncla's nighttime temperature during August is consistently averaged at an agreeable 73°F (22.8°C).

Heat index

August's average heat index is computed to be a life-threatening hot 116.6°F (47°C). Caution: Heat cramps along with heat exhaustion are expected. Sustained activity could lead to heatstroke.
Be advised, the heat index considers values for conditions in shade and with a light breeze. Direct sunlight exposure may cause a 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees rise in the heat index.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'felt air temperature', combines both the air temperature and the humidity level to give a perceived human temperature. One's perception of weather can be shaped by other factors, involving metabolic differences, pregnancy, and physical exertion. Direct exposure to the sun's rays can enhance the felt temperature, increasing the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are especially crucial for babies and toddlers. Youngsters typically face more danger than adults since they sweat less. Their larger skin surface compared to their small bodies and heightened heat production from their activities augment their vulnerability.
Evaporation of sweat is the main factor behind the cooling effect of perspiration in the human body. During conditions of high air temperature and humidity (high heat index), the body's ability to perspire is inhibited, increasing the sensation of warmth. When heat uptake goes beyond the body's cooling mechanisms, there's a surge in body temperature, posing health risks.

Refrain from overexposure. Fair-skinned individuals could burn in under 20 minutes. Attempt to stay under shade and limit exposure to the Sun between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when UV radiation is at its peak. Remember, devices such as parasols or canopies might not provide complete sun protection. Protect your eyes, ears, face, and neck from the Sun by wearing a wide-brimmed hat.
